The style of play is this teams achilles heel.

Jump shots can bring inconsistency, getting layups/easy baskets gets you engaged in the game.

I know everyone will say this game against the wizards is on the players, but these guys look defeated, like they're looking for answers.

Like they need a head coach that can give em those answers.

The style of the team is probably the main reason why Hayward left. Usually Hayward made the right play and pass, but he would never get the ball back. That's why he was 'only' a 17PPG scorer despite being very efficient. He isn't playing any better in Charlotte now, just getting better opportunities.

This issue I also see with Pritchard. He's patient and unselfish and in too many games that's resulting in too few shots for him, while he's one of the better shooters on the team.

Brown and Tatum need to be agressive on offense, but there has to be some balance. Everybody needs to get involved. We really do miss Horford and Hayward...

This. It's all iso and jumpshots. It's nice that we got guys in Tatum, Brown, and Kemba that can get their own, but when that's your entire offense and you rely on iso play to make plays every time down the floor, that's inefficient. There has to be more ball movement and team play on the offensive end.

And that's both on the players and on Brad, but mainly Brad for not managing this issue better. That's never been his style, but it's like he's completely deferred to his players' iso tendencies now with the development of Tatum. And I think that's part of his fundamental issue - he just doesn't have the character or personality to effectively manage these stars at this level and impose his own will and system.

Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

I don't think hayward not fitting in here  is talked about enough.

Shouldn't he have been the one guy that fit? But brad couldn't even make that work.
